Time for the Old Bike Rally hosted by Boxerworks Service and the Georgia Airheads at Nathan Mende's house. Dinner provided Friday and Saturday night. There will be a bonfire, music, and plenty of old motorcycles, scooters, and sidecars to look at. There is usually a Tech session or two also. Plenty of space to pitch your tent along the pond and, if needed, there's a motel in Watkinsville. Typically 50-75 riders tent camping every year and the crowd swells to over 100 for dinner both nights. This is fun for the whole family. You can come in your car, bring your well behaved kids, you can even bring your well behaved dog!
There are no special plans other than to relax stand around the fire and listen to music at night and during the day there will be a few folks bringing parts to swap for old bikes, scooters, and sidecars. Bring swap meet stuff if you got it. Bring a donation for dinner and it's BYOB. Rally T-shirts are $20.
Rally location is at the old Boxerworks location, 4562 Greensboro Hwy, Watkinsville, GA 30677.
DIRECTIONS FROM ATHENS: take Hwy 15 SOUTH out of Watkinsville about 5 miles towards Greensboro. Pass the sign for the covered bridge, pass Hot Thomas BBQ and keep going. On your right you will eventually see an orange PRIVATE DRIVE sign and the mailbox that says 4565 on it. TURN RIGHT onto a single paved lane, follow it until it turns to dirt, go past the pond and take the VERY NEXT LEFT turn into Nathans farm...can't miss it. If you do miss it, DO NOT keep going. Back up and turn left into the drive way where the welcome tent is.
If you're coming, send Nathan an email at
